COMPANY
A materials company built on
KICET technology
LUCENAIR CO., LTD. is a research institute spin-off company founded in October 2025 on activated carbon fiber technology transferred from the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology (KICET). We research materials and turn them into products inside KICET’s Ceramic Fiber Convergence Center in Jinju.
OUR MISSION
Air purification performance
is decided by the material
What a filter captures, and for how long, is decided by the adsorbent inside it. LUCENAIR does not start by assembling finished units. We start by working with the material itself, activated carbon fiber (ACF).
Because we handle the material, we can design its adsorption properties for each use, and match the filter’s form and regeneration method to it. Our industrial air filters, VOCs collectors and CO₂ removal modules all come from this material platform.
Turning technology transferred from KICET into products that work in the field is what LUCENAIR does as a research institute spin-off company.
